According to a report from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowksi, Jimmy Butler has “aggressively challenged” Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown over Butler’s role within the Sixers’ offense:
Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Jimmy Butler has aggressively challenged coach Brett Brown on his role in the offense, complicating an already tenuous chemistry among the team’s Big 3 hierarchy, league sources told ESPN.
Butler has been vocal in his contesting of Brown and his system, including a recent film session in Portland that some witnesses considered “disrespectful” and beyond normal player-coach discourse.
